Here, there be monsters... and I wants them!

Nin does a good job drawing you into your start, with low-cost creatures to round out your early game. However, it really gets fun when Willbreaker starts to go crazy and takes everything she sees. With lands that target, Nin tapping for 0 damage, or a Dwarven Song to make everything without protection yours (just to name a few). Even if you get her stolen, with at least four means to copy target creature and more options to steal them temporarily, anything she takes will be yours eventually.

The weakness of this deck? Playing weak decks without a creature focus. Nin the Pirate has bare-bone cancelling or aggro, so if you can't copy awesome creatures across the way, give yourself a second Consecrated Sphinx or Psychosis Crawler. You've also got both Niv-Mizzets that make insane drawing easier and beneficial to your own win.
